?uestlove spoke to Billboard yesterday, spilling details on The Roots next LP, Undun, as well as work on D’Angelo’s long-overdue comeback LP.

“We actually completed [the album] at five [o'clock] this morning, so it’s officially done,” ?uestlove tells Billboard.com’s The Juice of “Undun.” “It’s essentially a biographical narrative about Redford Stephens. Stephens [is] a composite of four or five people that we’ve known over the past few years from Philadelphia.” The album, which features Big K.R.I.T. and Phonte from Little Brother, tells Steven’s story backwards from his death to his birth.

When asked about The Roots’ incredible schedule, he took it all as just another day on the job. “It’s really not that hard. People are always amazed with the amount of projects and events that we’re involved in and the hardest thing about it is just staying the course and concentrating,” ?uestlove said. “I’ve just seen so many examples of people who take it for granted. You dream of being in a certain position and once you approach it you manage to sabotage it or you get off course. For us, that’s really not an option.”

Despite the hectic schedule, ?uestlove brings it into perspective with hard work. “We’re really highly responsible and very disciplined,” he said. “I take pride in the fact that this is our 13th record; not many hip-hop groups can even get to their 8th record.”
